The necessity of continuous learning


“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5

Be current, be relevant in your field if you don’t want to be left behind. I don’t care about when your formal school education stops but you must continue to lean and unlearn to stay in the game of life. Ignorance is the strongest enemy of life. An ignorant person will be stagnant, prone to frustration, pay more and can be easily subdued. Inadequate knowledge in any field or business is one of the reasons for failure.

“The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.” Eccl 10:15.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Provers 23:23

No price is too much to pay in order to gain knowledge and kill ignorance. The cost of being ignorant is always higher than the cost of acquiring knowledge. Fortunately, we are in the information age, there is hardly anything you cannot learn on the internet. Documentaries abound to make you better in your field and also for you to contribute. Your choice of friends can also determine whether you will remain ignorant or you will gain knowledge. There is someone there who knows what you don’t know, if you follow him, you will gain knowledge.

Be aggressive in learning, your future depends on it.

Prayer for today: Oh God give me passion for knowledge in all areas of life in Jesus name.
